“Context”

From some Izzy pol comes this little snippet:

Well, yes.  As some smarty-pants academic said a little while ago, context is everything.

I mean, I feel the same way about Commies (apart from the “rape” thing, I’m not the man I used to be –although I might be persuaded to take at least one* such ghoul for the team).

Still, it’s not a healthy thought and the Pals should be dissuaded from acting out those impulses by, say, mass relocation to the Congo.  (For some reason, Israelis have an institutional dislike of concentration camps and Babi Yar-style killing pits, so relocation seems to be the best alternative.)

So I’m not going to condemn the Pals outright because glass houses etc.  But I am going to encourage the Izzies to do whatever they think works.  I think they can generally be trusted to do the right thing, e.g. blowing up Iran’s nuclear bomb capability, so as far as the foul and loathsome Hamas / Hezbollah assholes are concerned, it’s all systems go.

But Refugees!

Here’s something I didn’t know, but which doesn’t surprise me:

From the murder of Sébastien Sellam in 2003 to that of Mireille Knoll in 2018, all murders of Jews in France have been committed by radicalized Muslims.

Yeah well, duh.  There are more such interesting snippets at the link, including this one, also duh:

74% of Muslims between the ages of 18 and 25 in France say they place Islamic sharia law above the laws of the French Republic.

I’m thinking it’s time for the mass deportations to begin, but no doubt someone will have a problem with this.

Nothing Wrong

I see this headline, and I just chuckle — snigger, even:

Fury as ‘Hamas-style’ headbands and ‘From the River to the sea’ T-shirts on sale on Etsy and Amazon

In the first place, we have that inconvenient First Amendment thing (although I know this is about Britishland, where the “hate speech” thing is well-rooted — see “Expressing support for Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation, is a criminal offence in the UK.”).

And secondly, I have no problem with these little tits wearing said headbands, because it makes things a lot easier, so to speak:

…and my freedom to publish this is protected by that very same inconvenient First Amendment.

Just sayin’.

Well, Here We Are

Seems as though the horrible Washington Post has had to pull a cartoon for being, and I quote, “grossly mischaracterizing” and “blatantly mocking the crisis in the Middle East”.  Also, “The caricatures employ racial stereotypes that were offensive and disturbing. Depicting Arabs with exaggerated features and portraying women in derogatory, stereotypical roles perpetuates racism and gender bias, which is wholly unacceptable.”

So what’s all the fuss about?  If the Post can’t publish it, I sure as hell can:

So if Ramirez had made the spokesman look like Owen Wilson and the cowering woman was wearing a bikini, then everything would be okay?

And the terrorists do exactly what the cartoon shows:  hide behind women and children, then scream bloody murder when the women and children are harmed.

Feel free to explain to me exactly what is inaccurate in the above.

Oh and by the way, for those who are Perpetually Indignant, cartoons are supposed to shock and surprise people.

And fuck you.

On A Roll

…is what the VodkaPundit has been recently.  This one in particular is trademark Stephen-Funny:

Imagine you’re a people like the South Syrian Arabs who (barely) populated the region between the Jordan and the sea a hundred years ago. Suddenly, pioneer Zionists start showing up and offering money for your crappy bits of desert. Next thing you know, the Jewish-run parts are turning green with forests and lush with crops, and modern cities spring up out of almost nowhere. Meanwhile, the Arab-run parts remain pretty much as arid and worthless as they ever were, only more crowded.

There’s a whole host of reasons why that happened, but those “thieving” Jews A) didn’t steal anything and B) are only barely responsible for your woes.

A Western grownup would assess the situation and realize that it’s time to change his ways. A loser crybully straps on a suicide vest and — well, you know the rest.

I wouldn’t have used “only barely” for “not at all”, but that’s a minor quibble.

However, I haven’t read the Hamas Style Guide recently, but “loser crybully” is now apparently the accepted alternative to “worthless Arab asshole”.

Duly noted.
